Summary
Spike takes a drink and focuses hard on the slight burn of whiskey on his tongue. Buffy runs her thumb over the fresh holes in Spike's jeans. Tonight he’ll peel himself out of them and wrap his body around hers and hopefully by then her hand will have stopped shaking. Neither of them speak.
“So.” Hank looks back and forth between Spike and Buffy like he's performing an inspection they're probably not going to pass. “Are you still getting the checks I send on your birthday?”-
Buffy and Spike meet Hank Summers for drinks in downtown San Francisco. Inspired by "Thumbs" by Lucy Dacus.

Summary
Oh, this was too good! Peaches’s girl went running from him, only to run right into his arms. It was too delicious for words…
And it could get even better, Spike realizes, as Buffy looks over her shoulder. She doesn’t know who she is… or how important she is. The cogs in his brain start to whir. If he could get her to the factory, hold her for ransom… He could solve his Slayer problem, easily.
A reimagining of Halloween if Buffy wasn’t the Slayer but Spike still was drawn to her anyway.

Summary
Halloween 1997 is pure chaos thanks to Ethan Rayne. However, rather than the generic noblewoman dress, Buffy goes back to pick out something a little different. A little more... regal. The change in costume unleashes a whole lot of other changes for Buffy and Spike both.
Never thought I'd be writing a season 2 Spuffy romance, but here we are. Thanks to flootzavut for reading the beta!
Written for the Elysian Fields 2025 Transformation Challenge. Cross-posting here.

Summary
“It’s called Cassandra’s Ring,” said Willow. “In Greek mythology she was a Trojan priestess to the god Apollo. And given the gift of prophecy. The prophecies can be summoned… and um… and held in… in uh—”
“A blood ring,” cut in Anya, rolling her eyes that the tactful delivery was being pockmarked with so many pauses. “You say the right words, do the magic mumbo jumbo, then you bite someone, someone bites you, and poof; future visions.”
"Oh boy,” Buffy muttered.
Buffy needs to gain the upper hand over Glory. What better way than to borrow some tactical advantages from the future? But, of course, the visions reveal far more than she expected...

Or will it destroy them both?
